Simulation Modeling of the Tilting Mechanism of the Main Trolley of the Turnaround Charging Crane

Abstract

this article contains kinematic and dynamic analysis of the tilting mechanism of the turnaround charging crane main trolley, conducted with the use of the Mathcad package. The mechanism is modeled by a flat link mechanism – a four-bar linkage. In the same time, the analysis of the mechanism is also conducted using the Matlab Simulink environment and the tools of Multibody, which is a Simulink library. These two models were then compared. In the study the work-energy theorem and Holonomic constraints equations were used.
